Description

General description

Cyclic oligopeptide with immunosuppressant properties. Induces apoptosis in rat thymocytes and in the murine B cell lymphoma cell line, WEH1-231. However, prevents anti-IgM and ionomycin-induced apoptosis in BLB cell lines. The complex of cyclosporin A with cyclophilin inhibits protein phosphatase 2B with nanomolar affinity. Inhibits nitric oxide synthesis induced by interleukin-1α, lipopolysaccharides, and TNF-α. Induces cardiomyocytes from embryonic stem cells.

Material is a nonpolar cyclic oligopeptide with immunosuppressant activity. Appears to act via interaction with the intracellular protein cyclophilin. The cyclophilin-cyclosporin A complex is a potent inhibitor of the protein phosphatase activity of calcineurin (protein phosphatase 2B, PP2B). Induces apoptosis in rat thymocytes and in the murine B-cell lymphoma cell line, WEHI-231; however, it prevents anti-IgM and ionomycin-induced apoptosis in BLB cell lines. Inhibits nitric oxide synthesis induced by interleukin 1α, lipopolysaccharides, and TNFα. Induces cardiomyocytes from embryonic stem cells.
